- Economic abundance has created breakthroughs in remote sensor technology to make farming more efficient, energy innovation to reduce power sector emissions, and advanced manufacturing to make cleaner products.
- To address our greatest environmental challenges, policymakers should pursue policies that unleash economic abundance and innovation.
